Specification updated.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates?action=diff&rev2=113&rev1=112>
** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Triaged
** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu)
Assignee: Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt) => (unassigned)
** Description changed:
update-manager 1:0.174.4, Ubuntu 12.10
In some situations (e.g. bug 888845, bug 1097073), a "Failed to download
repository information" alert appears.
This alert is unattractive in several ways:
a. it is maximizable
b. the title is "update-manager", all lower-case
c. the primary text is not a complete sentence
d. it uses the word "repository"
e. the secondary text is "Check your Internet connection", when that usually
is not the problem
f. it has a "Close" button.
- This needs redesigning.
+ <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#check-interactive>: "If the
+ check fails because of an error, the progress window should morph into
+ an error alert, with the title 'Software Updater' and primary text
+ depending on the exact situation ... 'The check for updates couldn’t
+ complete because not all software channels are available.'"
